An update on the move toward a new province-wide benefits plan

As we move into the fall, we’d like to update you on the progress of this important initiative. As you know, CUPE – like others in the education sector – is studying the viability of moving to a single benefits plan for all members in the province. Under the terms of the government’s proposal, future benefits would be paid from a separate Employee Life and Health Trust (ELHT). The trust would be funded by each of the school boards, and jointly managed by CUPE and the government (with CUPE having majority control) for the benefit of all CUPE members.
